In Loving Memory
David Jesus Vargas
December 24, 1963 - May 23, 2026
It is with heavy hearts, and tear-filled eyes as the Vargas Family shares the passing of their beloved David Jesus Vargas, who at the blessed age of 62, was called home into the loving arms of Our Heavenly Father on May 23, 2026. As Heaven’s gates opened wide to receive him, a loving husband, devoted father, cherished grandfather, faithful son, caring brother, and treasured friend entered eternal rest surrounded by the grace and mercy of God.
David was born on December 24, 1963, in Memphis, Texas, and from the very beginning of his life, he carried within him a humble spirit, a compassionate heart, and a quiet strength that would touch the lives of so many throughout the years. He was the cherished son of Juan Vargas and Lucia Rojas Vargas and was raised with strong Catholic values, deep love for family, and unwavering faith in God that remained with him throughout his entire life. David was a faithful Catholic who attended St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in Robstown, Texas, where he served as an Altar Server during his younger years. Those who knew David knew the kindness that radiated from him, the calmness in his voice, and the sincere love he carried for every person blessed enough to cross his path. David’s faith was not merely spoken, rather it was lived daily through his compassion, humility, sacrifices, and devotion to those he loved most. David also dedicated over twenty years of faithful service as an Inspector for multiple companies including these last few years with Atlas Tubular, where he earned the respect and admiration of his coworkers through his strong work ethic, loyalty, and integrity. Yet beyond his profession, David’s greatest accomplishment in life was not found in titles or years of service, but in the family he adored with every ounce of his heart. David’s family was everything to him and nothing brought him greater joy to his soul than spending precious time with his beloved grandchildren, watching them laugh, grow, and fill his life with purpose. He also treasured every moment he spent with his children as he watched them grow from young children into adults with families of their own. The love David carried for his family was immeasurable and unconditional; whether through a comforting word, a warm embrace, a sacrifice quietly made, or simply his presence beside those he loved, David made his family feel safe, protected, and deeply cherished. David was the kind of man whose love spoke louder than words, and his passing leaves an emptiness that can never truly be filled, and the silence left behind by his absence now echoes deeply within the hearts of all who knew and loved him. The world feels dimmer without his smile, quieter without his laughter, and forever changed without his loving presence among us.
David now enters into eternal life where he is joyfully reunited once again with his beloved father, Juan Vargas; his precious son, Michael Paul Vargas; and his dear brother, Juan “John” Vargas Jr who preceded him in death. What a beautiful and glorious reunion that must have been in Heaven, as the gates of eternity opened as his loved ones rushed forward to embrace him once again. One can only imagine the tears of joy, the overwhelming peace, and the heavenly welcome as David was greeted with open arms by those he had longed to see once more. No more pain. No more suffering. Only everlasting peace in the presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Though our hearts are shattered here on earth, we find comfort in knowing that David’s life did not end, it merely changed. David’s love remains alive within every cherished memory, every lesson he taught, every prayer whispered for him, and every heartbeat of the family he loved so dearly.
David leaves behind a legacy of love that will continue to live on forever in the hearts of his loving wife of 13 years, though together for more than 35 beautiful years, Delia Castillo Vargas; his children, Dominic (Jeinny) Vargas, David (Crystal) Vargas Jr., and Rhonda Vargas; his loving mother, Lucia Rojas Vargas; his siblings, Santiago “Jimmy” (Lydia) Vargas, Lucy (Vicente) Arriaga, and Victor (Irma) Vargas. He was also deeply loved and adored by his eighteen grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and countless dear friends whose lives were forever blessed by his kindness, wisdom, and love.
The Vargas Family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude and sincere invitation to all who knew and loved David Jesus Vargas to join them in honoring and celebrating his beautiful life, as a Visitation will be held from 5:00 PM until 9:00 PM with a Holy Rosary to be recited at 7:00 PM on Monday, June 1, 2026, at Ramon Funeral Home. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11:00 AM on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, 204 Dunne Ave, Robstown, Texas. Interment with Full Military Honors will follow at Coastal Bend State Veterans Cemetery in Corpus, Texas.
As we say goodbye to David Jesus Vargas, we do so with broken hearts but with faith-filled hope, trusting in God’s promise of eternal life. Though tears now fall endlessly from our eyes, we know that someday, through the mercy of Christ, we shall see him again. Until that beautiful day comes, David will remain forever loved, forever missed, and forever carried within our hearts.
